Hang on you two, we had a hijack going here
Personally, I don't mind google oz but I agree, it's MY computer, I get to choose where I go ... I hope.

On the Google Page there is an option at the bottom Go to Google.com
Hit it and it will take you the google.com (without the oz redirect)
Have a nice day - Cheers

I know it is possible, and not that hard to do (I just don't know the steps), but you can set up your own DNS directory, and then there would be no problem at all. Either that, or don't type www.google etc, but use the actual IP address

Disco - no problem with Optus being able to play silly buggers. Change your google bookmark to point to the IP address, and you won't have to think about it again (until they change their server location, and then you just need to get the next IP address)."Clear, Ease Springs"

Googleoz only
Would yer be using the Micro Soft IE now, me old lad ?
I am using Mozilla Firefox with Google as the home page.
I have a choice of seaching the web Checkbox or pages from Australia.
All I can say is it works for me!
Perhaps a change might help.

Instead of using the ip address use this link and you will be go directly to google.com, without passing Go (or google.com.au)
http://www.google.com/ncr
I think the ncr must stand for No Country RedirectPhoto Gallery

Hmmm... thanks Grunt.
It's a funny thng, but every time I've googled since Chrissy Day I've been redirected. Until I just did a quick test run right then, before trying out the /ncr link... and things seem to be back to normal.
It must have been a Romany gremlin.

Skew,
I dont think it is an optus thing. When I was overseas travelling around Canada and Europe, I was always redirected to their local google when I typed google.com which I also found annoying.
Doesnt help your cause, but it may not be optus's fault. It happens here to me on Internode.
Cheers
Steve
